MES3000 Ethernet switch series                      29 
4  INITIAL SWITCH CONFIGURATION  
4.1  Configuring the Terminal 
Run  terminal  emulation  application  on  PC  (HyperTerminal,  TeraTerm,  Minicom)  and  perform  the 
following actions: 
1.  Select the corresponding serial port.  
2.  Set the data transfer rate—115,200 baud. 
3.  Specify the data format: 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, non-parity. 
4.  Disable hardware and software data flow control. 
5.   Specify  VT100  terminal  emulation  mode  (many  terminal  applications  use  this  emulation 
mode by default). 
4.2  Turning on the device 
Establish connection between the switch console ('console' port) and the serial interface port on PC, 
where terminal emulation application is installed. 
Turn the device on. Upon every startup, the switch performs power-on self-test (POST), that allows 
to check operational capability of the device before execution program is loaded into RAM.
